Abstract

Aim: We aimed to identify critical human proteins involved in cathepsin L regulation

Background: It has been shown that Dengue Virus (DENV) NS1 activates cathepsin L (CTSL). The CTSL activates heparanase, which cleaves heparan sulfate proteoglycans and causes dengue pathogenesis. NS1 directly interacts with PTBP1 and Gab proteins. Gab protein activates the Ras signaling pathway. Still, no known direct interaction partners are linking GAB1 to cathepsin L.

Objective: Our objective includes three main points.1-Network analysis of NS1 interacting human proteins 2- Identification of protein-drug and protein-disease interactions 3- Identification of core proteins involved in cathepsin L regulation.

Method: We collected NS1 interacting Human proteins from DenHunt, Int-Act Molecular Interaction Database, Virus Mentha, Virus Pathogen Database and Analysis Resource (ViPR), and Virus MINT. We employed Pesca, cytohubba, and centiscape as the significant plug-ins in Cytoscape for network analysis. To study protein-diseases and protein-drugs interaction, we used NetworkAnalyst.

Result: Based on the prior knowledge on the interaction of NS1 with GAB1 and PTBP1 human proteins, we found several core proteins that drive dengue pathogenesis. The proteins EED, NXF1, and MOV10, are the mediators between PTBP1 and CTSL. Similarly, DNM2, GRB2, PXN, PTPRC, and NTRK1 mediate GAB1 and PTBP1. The common first neighbors of MOV10, NXF1, and EED were identified, and the common primary pathways in all three subnetworks were mRNA processing and protein translation. The common interaction partners were considered for drug and disease network analysis. These proteins were; PARP1, NFKB2, HDAC2, SLC25A4, ATP5A1, EPN1, CTSL, UBR4, CLK3, and ARPC4. PARP1 was the highly connected node in the protein-drug network. The highest degree protein, LMNA, was associated with many diseases. The NXF1 is connected with LMNA. Here, we reported one essential protein, namely, NXF1 protein, which links PTBP1 with CTSL. The NXF1 is also connected with TPM3, which is connected to CTSL.

Conclusion: We listed functionally important proteins which are involved in cathepsin L activation. Based on network properties, we proposed, NXF1 and TPM3 are the important high centrality proteins in dengue infection.
